onion farmer ' from New York,
clash tonight for the NBA version
of -the world middleweight crown
in the San Francisco Cow Palace.
Fight time is 10 p.m. e.d.t. and
the two lads will be picking up
some of the biggest checks of
their varied careers for the sched
uled 15-round bout.
A crowd of about 15,000 is an
ticipated, with a gate of 200,ooo
Another $100,000 will come from
ra-tio and TV nights. Of the
n
tctal, Rasilio gets 35 ptr cent, Full
mer 25 per cent. '
The two bruising body-punchers,
both former holders of the how
vacant crown, battle pretty much
alike but think differently.
Basllio Expects To Win "
Thursday, for Instance, Fullmer
whiled away the time reading
books 6r philosophy and religion.
Basilio loafed and played poker.

the most important fight of my
career. My future depends on it"

throw, and the bantamweight
weight lifting championship. 1 '
Of those, only In the 10.000
meter did the U.S. figure lo lose.

was a top-heavy favorite over the
three U.S. entries Robert Soth
of Long Beach, Calif.. Alex D.
Breckenridge of Buffalo, N.Y:,
and Russell Bennett of Holly
wood, Calif. U.S.'s best bet in
this event. Max Trcux of War

in the 5,000-meter run only.
Look For Sweep
The U.S. looked for a sweep
in the hammer throw with world
record holder Harold Connolly,
now living in Los Angeles. Albert
Hall of Southington, Conn., and
Robert H. Backus of Marshficld,
Mass., as its entrants.
In the high jump, world record
holder Charlie Dumas of Los An
geles, Harold Williams, 'also of
Los Angeles and Vance Robinson
of Norfolk, Va., figured to be bet
ter than anyone the other 23
competing nations from North
arid South America had in the
field.
Marjorie Larney of Wooclhaven,
N.J., appeared the best bet in
the women's javelin with Amelia
Wood of River Kdge, N.J., and
Margaret Scholler of Brooklyn
her chief threats.
Charles "Vinci Jr., of Cleveland
the .defending Pan American
champion who also won the 1956
Olympic title, looked like a stand
out for the gold medal in ban

They have not applied for man
ager's licences because they kriow
they would be denied by the Cali
fornia State Athletic Commission.
'We would have been turned
down," says Netro. "There was
no use in applying. We told an
inquiry in New York that he paid
Gabe Genovese money for "serv
ices rendered. So we get black
balled for it." -

Genovese was sentenced to two
years last month for being an un

Basilio will be managed for this
fight by Angelo Dundee, his chief

career.
At 28 years, he is four years

fight than ever before," says Full

By United Press International
Just a week ago they were
still talking pennant Tor the Port

who now are in fifth place, 5 1-2

The Baltimore Colts, National
Football League champions who
have allowed a total of three
points in their first two pre-sea-son
games, open the pro circuit's
six-game week-end program Fri
day night by entertaining the
Washington Redskins.
Washington, which averaged
23.5 points in splitting its first
two warmup games, now faces a
Baltimore team which shut out
the College All -Stars 29-0, and
drubbed the New York Giants,
the league's Eastern Division
champions, 28-3.'
A rugged defensive unit led by
such star linemen as 288-pound
Gene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb, 270
pound Art Donovan and 240
pound Gino Marchetti helped the
Colts win their first Western Di
vision and league title last year.
Baltimore's defensive backs,
aided by these huskies charging
into rival backfields, led the
league in pass interceptions in
1958 with 35. It was the same
story in Baltimore's first two ex
hibitions this year. The Colts in
tercepted 10 passes in those
games and made them pay off in
easy victories.

the first week of practUjijj has
cut into the effectiveness of the
drills according to Head Coach
Franz Haun. Although the
small turn has caused some prob

"Some things looked real good

said.

Joe Francis May Stay
At QB For Full Game
PORTLAND UPI Coach
Vince Lombard! of the Green Bay
Packers indicated today that Joe
Francis may remain at quarter
back for the entire game with the
Philadelphia Eagles Saturday
night in Multnomah Stadium.
"This will be Joe's game as
he shows us the stuff," Lombardi
said. . i.
Francis, former Oregon State
star, will be up against the' Ea
gles' Norm Van Broeklin,- who
played his college football at Oregon.
thev will be more 'help to the
souad than previously anticipat
ed. Otherwise the team looked
sluggish according to Haun. iv5
the natural reaction after four
days of drills Haun said. The
timing was slow and the players
were reacting poorly and this
mede things look worse than
they were. .
The Tigers bumped heads
briefly last night and the scrim
mage showed that there will
have to be some changes mide
but Haun didn't want to talk
about the changes until they were
complete.
A few players have dropped
from the drills and bumps and
bruises have slowed down a few
ether but no serious injuries
have occurred to hamper players.
The passing offense got praise
from Haun. Ray Westenskow and
Rick Gerry did a good job of
throwing and Haun Is again look
ing forward to a fine passing at
tack to help carry the running
game. -
